Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scribing method for forming a scribing surface on a surface of a brittle material substrate, and a scribing device for dividing into a flat panel display (hereinafter referred to as A fragile material substrate such as a glass substrate or a semiconductor wafer of FPD) [Prior Art] A conventional technique described below is a brittle material substrate used for various flat-panel displays, that is, a glass substrate or a substrate for bonding the brittle material. A scribe line is formed on the mother brittle material substrate. In an FPD such as a liquid crystal display panel formed by laminating a pair of glass substrates, a pair of mother glass substrates are bonded to each other and then divided so that each mother glass substrate is formed into a glass substrate having a predetermined size of the FPD. Each mother glass substrate ' is formed by scribing in advance with a diamond-made cutter or the like, and is divided along the scribe line. Further, depending on the type of the flat display or the manufacturing method, it is also possible to form a scribe line on the bonded mother glass substrate and then divide the mother glass substrate. When a scribe line is mechanically formed using a cutter or the like, the formed scribe line peripheral portion ′ is in a state in which residual stress is accumulated. Further, when the mother glass substrate is divided along the scribe line, residual stress is accumulated in the edge portion of the side edge of the surface of the divided glass substrate and the peripheral portion thereof. Such residual stress is a potential stress that causes unnecessary scratches to be elongated near the surface of the glass substrate. If the residual stress is released, an unnecessary crack is generated and the edge of the divided surface of the glass substrate is notched. Hey. The debris generated by the formation of the 1277612 notch at the edge portion of the divided surface of the glass substrate may adversely affect the manufactured FPD. In recent years, in order to form a scribe line on the surface of a mother glass substrate, a method of using a laser beam has been put into practical use. Using the laser beam to form a scribe line on the mother glass substrate, as shown in Fig. 8, the laser beam LB is irradiated from the laser oscillating device 61 to the mother glass substrate 5 (). The laser beam LB irradiated from the laser oscillation device 61 forms an elliptical laser spot LS along the predetermined line SL of the mother glass substrate 50 on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50. The mother glass substrate 5 () and the laser beam LB irradiated from the laser oscillation device 61 are relatively moved in the longitudinal direction of the laser spot Ls. The mother glass substrate 50 is heated at a temperature lower than the temperature of the softened mother glass substrate 50 by a laser beam [Β. Thereby, the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 on which the laser spot is formed is not softened and heated. Further, in the vicinity of the irradiation region of the laser beam LB on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, a refrigerant such as cooling water is blown from the cooling nozzle to assist in forming a scribe line. On the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 irradiated by the laser beam LB, the compressive stress is generated by heating of the laser beam LB, and tensile stress is generated by blowing the refrigerant. Thus, the tensile stress is generated in the region close to the region where the compressive stress is generated, and the stress is tilted according to each stress between the two regions, and the slit is formed on the mother glass substrate 50 from the end portion of the mother glass substrate 5 A predetermined crack is formed along the line SL to form a vertical crack in the thickness direction of the mother glass substrate 5'. That is, the vertical crack line is a scribe line. & Vertical cracks formed on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 due to the small size are generally not visually visible to the naked eye, so they are called blind cracks Be. 1277612 FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view showing a state in which a blind crack BC is formed on a mother glass substrate $ scribed by a laser scribing device, and FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a state of physical change on the mother glass substrate 50. Top view. The laser beam oscillated from the laser oscillation device 61 forms an elliptical laser spot LS on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50. The laser spot LS is irradiated in such a manner that the long axis coincides with the predetermined line of the scribe line. In this case, the laser beam LS formed on the mother glass substrate 50 has a thermal energy intensity greater than that of the central portion. Such a laser spot LS is formed by changing a laser beam having a Gaussian heat intensity distribution into a heat energy distribution that maximizes the thermal energy intensity at each end portion in the long axis direction. Therefore, at each end portion in the long-axis direction on the predetermined line SL, the thermal energy intensity is the maximum 'the thermal energy intensity at the central portion of the laser spot Ls sandwiched by the respective ends' is higher than the thermal energy intensity at each end portion. small. The mother glass substrate 50 is relatively moved along the long axis direction of the laser spot LS. Therefore, the mother glass substrate 50 is heated along the predetermined line SL of the line, and is heated at the thermal energy intensity at one end of the long axis direction of the laser spot LS. It is heated by the small thermal energy intensity at the center of the laser spot Ls, and further heated with a large thermal energy intensity. Then, 'the cooling point cP on the scribe line from the rear side of the laser beam LS, for example, in the longitudinal direction away from the predetermined interval L, is blown into the refrigerant from the cooling nozzle 62, thereby 'at the laser point LS and the cooling point CP. A temperature gradient is generated between them, and a large tensile stress is generated to the cooling point CP on a side opposite to the laser spot LS. Further, by the tensile stress, a slit is formed in a predetermined direction from the slit TR formed at the end portion of the mother glass substrate 5 to form a vertical crack in the thickness t direction of the mother glass substrate 5 〇 1277612. The mother glass substrate 50 is heated by an elliptical laser spot LS. In this case, the mother glass substrate 50 conveys heat three-dimensionally from the surface toward the inside by the large thermal energy intensity at one end portion of the laser spot Ls, but the mother glass substrate 50 relatively moves by the laser spot LS. The portion heated at the front end of the laser spot is heated by the large thermal energy intensity at the rear end portion of the laser spot LS after being heated by the small thermal energy intensity at the center of the laser spot LS. Thus, the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 is heated to a large thermal energy intensity and then thermally conducted to the inside during heating with a small thermal energy intensity. At this time, the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 is prevented from continuing to be heated by a large thermal energy, and the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 can be prevented from softening. Then, when the mother glass substrate 50 is heated again with a large thermal energy intensity, it is surely heated to the inside of the mother glass substrate 5, and compressive stress is generated on the surface and inside of the mother glass substrate 50. Further, tensile stress is generated by causing the medium p to enter the cooling point Cp near the region where the compressive stress is generated. If a compressive stress is generated in the heating region of the laser spot LS, and a tensile stress is generated at the cooling point cp of the refrigerant, the compressive stress generated in the thermal diffusion region between the laser spot Ls and the cooling point CP is applied to the cooling point cp. A large tensile stress is generated in the region opposite to the laser spot LS. Further, the slit TR is formed by the slit TR at the end portion of the mother glass substrate 5 to form a blind crack along the predetermined line of the scribe line. After the blind crack BC of the scribe line is formed on the mother glass substrate 50, the mother glass substrate 50 is supplied to the lower dividing step on both sides of the blind crack to generate a back bending moment (the blind crack BC is along the thickness of the mother glass substrate 50). The direction of stretching 1277612) exerts a force on the mother glass substrate 50. Thereby, the mother glass substrate 50 is formed along the predetermined line along the scribe line by the blind crack B (: division). [Invention] In the scribe line device as described above, the laser spot is formed on the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 LS is a thermal energy intensity distribution in such a manner that the thermal energy intensity is maximized in the long axis direction. Thus, by heating the end portions of the thermal energy intensity at the respective ends in the long axis direction and heating the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 in two stages, The mother glass substrate 50 is in a state of being transferred to the inside of the substrate. Therefore, only a short-time cooling using the refrigerant forming the cooling point cp does not obtain a sufficient thermal stress gradient between the laser spot Ls and the cooling CP. It is impossible to form a deep blind 4 mark (vertical crack). Therefore, there is a problem that the mother glass substrate 50 is poorly divided in the above-described dividing step. The present invention is to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide: a mother glass substrate A method for scribing a brittle material substrate, such as a brittle material substrate, and a scribing device. The brittle material of the present invention is a method of scribing a substrate along a surface of a brittle material substrate. The predetermined line is scribed to form a laser spot having a temperature lower than a softening point of the brittle material substrate, and the laser beam is continuously irradiated and moved to scribe a line along the trailing line behind the Hailei shooting point. The vicinity of the area is cooled by the refrigerant to form a cooling point, whereby the blind crack is continuously formed along the predetermined line of the scribe line, and is characterized in that: the edge forms at least one auxiliary cooling point side scribe line, and the auxiliary cooling point is located in the lower part of the cold section. The point is closer to the laser point #, and is used to preliminarily cool the area along the predetermined line by the refrigerant. 1277612 The auxiliary cooling point is formed by a cooling medium having a cooling temperature higher than the cooling temperature forming the cooling temperature. The scribing device for the brittle material substrate is provided with a laser beam irradiation mechanism that continuously irradiates and moves the soft laser beam formed on the surface of the impurity substrate at a laser spot having a temperature lower than the elastic material point. ; and I will

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of a mother glass substrate, showing an embodiment of a scribing method for a brittle material substrate of the present invention. In the scribing method, when a plurality of glass substrates constituting an FPD such as a liquid crystal display panel are formed by dividing a mother glass substrate, a blind crack of a scribe line is formed on the mother glass substrate before the mother glass substrate is divided. As shown in Fig. 1, on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, a laser beam LS1 is formed by irradiation of a laser beam along a predetermined line SL'. Further, a slit (cut 11 1277612 ) TR along a predetermined line along the scribe line is formed in advance on the side edge portion of the mother glass substrate 50 near the scribe start position of the scribe line predetermined line SL on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50. The laser "', έ LS1 is formed into an elliptical shape, and the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 is relatively moved in the direction indicated by the arrow A in a state where the long diameter is along the predetermined line of the scribe line. ^This day, formed in the mother The laser spot LS1 of the glass substrate 50 has a thermal energy intensity greater than that of the central portion. The laser spot LSI is formed by changing the laser beam having a thermal energy intensity to a Gaussian distribution to the long axis. The direction of each of the directions is formed by the distribution of the thermal energy of the maximum thermal energy intensity. Therefore, at each end portion of the long-axis direction on the predetermined line SL, the thermal energy intensity becomes maximum, and the thunder is sandwiched between the ends. The thermal energy intensity at the central portion of the spot LS1 is smaller than the thermal energy intensity at each end portion. The elliptical-shaped laser spot LSI moves along the scribe line pre-strip SL on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, sequentially heating the scribe line. Sl. The laser spot LS is heated at a temperature lower than the softening point temperature of the mother glass substrate 5G, and is heated at a high speed while moving the mother glass substrate 50. Thereby, the laser spot LS1 is formed. The surface of the mother glass substrate 5 is not dissolved The main cooling point MCP is formed on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 after the direction of the laser spot LS1. The main cooling point Mcp is blown into the cooling water, water and compressed air from the cooling nozzle on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50. The refrigerant such as the mixed fluid, the compressed air, the He gas, the I gas, or the c〇2 gas is cooled to form the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 so as to be in the same direction as the laser spot LSI of the mother glass substrate 5, and The speed of the moving speed of the laser spot LS1 is two, and the line is moved along the line of the mother glass substrate 5G. 12 1277612 Further, on the surface of the mother glass substrate 5, an auxiliary cooling point Acp is formed, which is located at the main cooling point MCP. Before the direction of the direction, it is close to the main cooling point Mcp, and along the scribe line SL. The auxiliary cooling point ACP is blown into the cooling water, the mixed fluid of water and compressed air, compressed air, "gas" from the cooling nozzle. The refrigerant such as t gas or C〇2 gas is on the surface of the mother glass substrate 5, and the temperature of the refrigerant on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50 is higher than the temperature of the refrigerant blown into the main cooling point MCP. cool down. The auxiliary cooling point ACP is also the same as the main cooling point MCP, in the same direction as the laser spot LSI of the mother glass substrate 5, and at the same speed as the moving speed of the laser spot LS1, along the mother glass substrate 5〇 The surface scribe line SL is moved on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, and is sequentially heated along the scribe line SL by the laser LSI, and then cooled before the heating portion of the refrigerant which has formed the main cooling point Mcp is cooled. The refrigerant forming the auxiliary cooling point ACp is cooled by the cooling temperature of the main β point MCP south, and then cooled to a cooling temperature lower than the auxiliary cooling point ACP by the refrigerant forming the main cooling point MCP. The mother glass substrate 50 is heated by the laser beam LS1 to generate a compressive stress on the surface thereof, and thereafter, by the refrigerant forming the auxiliary cooling point Acp, once cooled, it is further cooled by the refrigerant forming the main cooling point Mcp. Thereby, along the predetermined line of the scribe line, a line of the blind crack BC deep in the vertical direction is formed. The reason for this is considered as follows: after the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 is heated by the laser spot LS1 to generate a compressive stress, the mother glass substrate 50 is cooled by the refrigerant forming the auxiliary cooling point to generate a tensile stress. Then, in the state in which the tensile stress is generated at 13 1277612, and further cooling by the refrigerant forming the main cooling point Mcp, the tensile stress is generated on the surface of the mother glass substrate 5, so that main cooling is formed. The tensile stress generated by the cooling of the MCP refrigerant is likely to act on the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, and the mother glass substrate 50 is formed with a blind crack Bc deep in the vertical direction. Moreover, in the laser scribing method of the prior art shown in FIG. 10, it is considered that the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 is heated by the laser beam LS, and then the refrigerant is blown to cool the surface of the mother glass substrate 50. Excessive thermal shock is created on the formation of blind cracks. However, in the scribing method of the present invention, it is also considered that by setting the auxiliary cooling point ACP between the main cooling point Mcp and the laser point LS1, the above-mentioned excess thermal shock is alleviated, and the thermal shock disappears. The energy is consumed by the force that causes the blind crack to elongate. After the blind cracks of the scribe lines are formed on the mother glass substrate 5, the mother glass substrate 50 is supplied to the lower dividing step, and on both sides of the blind cracks, a bending moment for causing the blind cracks to extend in the thickness direction of the mother glass substrate 50 is generated. In a manner, the mother glass substrate 50 is energized. Thereby, the mother glass substrate 5 is divided along the blind crack formed along the predetermined line SL.

A laser beam LSI having an elliptical shape elongated in the X-axis direction is formed on the mother glass substrate 50 in the scanning direction of the mother glass substrate 50 by the laser beam oscillated from the laser oscillator 34. Then, the refrigerant is blown from the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 behind the laser beam LS1 along the predetermined line of the scribe line to form the auxiliary cooling point ACP. Further, after the auxiliary cooling point ACP, the refrigerant is blown along the predetermined line SL from the main cooling sound 37 to form the main cooling point Mcp. Thereby, as described above, the auxiliary cooling is performed by the heating of the laser spot LSI. The stress gradient formed by the cooling of the point ACP and the primary cooling point MCP can form a deeper vertical blind crack than the conventional ACP without the auxiliary cooling point. After the mother glass substrate 50 forms a blind crack, the mother glass substrate 5 is supplied to the lower dividing step to apply a bending moment in the width direction of the blind crack to force the mother glass substrate. Thereby, the mother glass substrate 5 is separated from the slit TR provided in the side edge portion thereof along the blind crack. Further, in the description of the conventional embodiment, the main cooling point Mcp and the auxiliary are formed by ejecting the refrigerant onto the scribe line predetermined line SL from the main cooling nozzle 37 and the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 which are respectively fixed to the support table 31. The cooling point is configured to have a configuration in which the main cooling nozzle Μ and the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 are separately moved in the χ direction and the γ direction, and the laser beam can be freely adjusted on the scribe line. The interval between LS1 and the auxiliary cooling point ACP and the auxiliary cooling, the interval between the point ACP and the cooling point Mcp, or the position of the auxiliary cooling point ACP and the main cooling point Mcp can be set to a position away from the predetermined line from the scribe line 18 1277612. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mother glass = substrate of the liquid crystal display panel is used as an example of the brittle material substrate. However, the present invention is also applicable to a bonded glass substrate, a single glass, a semiconductor wafer, or a ceramic. Scrub processing. In addition, in the above description, the thermal energy intensity of the outer peripheral edge portion of the laser beam formed on the mother glass substrate 5 is higher than the thermal energy intensity of the central portion, but the laser light spot LS is said. The thermal energy distribution of 丨 can also be Gaussian. <Examples> Next, an embodiment in which a blind crack is formed on a glass substrate under various conditions using the scribing apparatus will be described. <Example 1> A laser beam oscillated from a 200 W laser oscillator 34 was irradiated onto a soda lime glass substrate having a thickness of 3 mm to form a blind crack. The laser spot LSI formed on the glass substrate is, for example, an elliptical shape having a major axis 4·〇_ and a short axis i·5_, and forms a main cooling point MCP (formed by a cold lubricant blown from the main cooling nozzle 37). At a position away from the center of the laser spot LSI by 85 mra, the auxiliary cooling point ACP is separated from the main cooling point MCP (formed by the refrigerant blown from the auxiliary cooling nozzle ο) to the position of the laser dot LSI by 10 min. 8分钟。 The main cooling 嗔 3 7 using the nozzle front end inner diameter 〇 · 6mni, the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 using the nozzle front end inner diameter of 0. 8 min. The mixed fluid of water and compressed air from the main cooling nozzle 37 was sprayed on the surface of the glass substrate by a height of 5 mm at a pressure of MPa 5 MPa (machine 1 1 〇 L/miη). Further, compressed air was sprayed from the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 to the surface of the glass substrate at a height of 1111111 at a pressure of MPa 2 MPa (flow rate: 19 1277612 141/1^11). Further, the moving speed of the glass substrate was changed from 丨Q 〇 _ / s to I 80 mm / S, and each time 1 Omm / s was changed in stages, a blind crack was formed on the glass substrate, and the depth δ was measured. The results are shown in the graph of Fig. 3. Further, for comparison, the blind crack depth δ when the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 is not formed by the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 will be listed in the graph of Fig. 3 . In this case, the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 forms the auxiliary cooling point ACP, and the blind crack depth δ is deepened by 1% compared with the case where the auxiliary cooling point ACP is not formed. <Example 2> The glass substrate is a soda lime having a thickness of 1.1 mm. In the glass substrate, the mixed fluid of water and compressed air from the main cooling nozzle 37 is irradiated at a pressure of M5 MPa (flow rate, and compressed air from the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 at a pressure of MPa2 MPa (flow rate: 14 L/miη)). Further, the auxiliary cooling nozzles 41 are disposed at intervals of 7 mm from the main cooling nozzles 37. Further, the moving speed of the glass substrate is changed from 100 mm/s to 400 mm/s, and each time 2 〇/s is divided into stages, The glass substrate is formed into a blind crack, and the depth δ is measured. The result is shown in the graph of Fig. 4. Further, for comparison, the blind crack depth δ when the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 is not formed by the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 will be listed in Fig. 4 Further, the other implementation conditions are the same as in the first embodiment. In this h-shape, the auxiliary cooling point is also formed by the auxiliary cooling nozzle 4, and the blind crack depth 5 is deepened by i(10) when the person does not form the auxiliary cold spot ACp. <Example 3> 20 127761 2 The auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 is used to form the position of the auxiliary cooling point ACP, and the main cooling nozzle 37 is used to form the main cooling point, and the pressure is changed from −5 to 15 when the refrigerant is injected from the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 to the flow rate. 7 L/min), 0.2 MPa (flow rate: 14 L/min), and 〇3 (flow rate: 21 L/min) were subjected to the same conditions as in Example 1 to form a blind crack, and the depth δ was measured. The results are shown in the graph of Fig. 5. In this case, by forming the auxiliary cooling point Acp on the glass substrate in such a manner that the distance between the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 and the main cooling nozzle 37 is around 1Qmm, the blind crack depth is compared with when the (four) cooling point AGP is not formed. § is 10% deeper. <Example 4> The position at which the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 is used to form the auxiliary cooling point ACp is used to form the main cooling point Mcp using the main cooling nozzle 37, and the pressure is changed from 5 mm to 9 mm, and the pressure is injected from the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41. The change was 0.1 MPa (flowing 7 L/min), 0.2 MPa (flow rate i4 L/min), and 0.3 MPa (flow rate 21 L/mln). Otherwise, blind cracks were formed under the same conditions as in Example 2, and the depth δ was measured. The results are shown in the graph of Fig. 6. In this case, the auxiliary cooling point ACp is formed on the glass substrate in such a manner that the distance between the auxiliary cooling nozzle 41 and the main cooling nozzle 37 is about 7 mm, and the blind crack depth is compared with when the auxiliary cooling point ACP is not formed. δ is deepened by 10%. Fig. 7 is a schematic plan view showing another embodiment of the present invention. The laser beam oscillated by the k laser oscillator 34 forms a laser dot LSI having an elliptical shape of 21 Ϊ 277 612 in the X-axis direction along the scanning direction of the mother glass substrate 50 on the mother glass substrate. Then, the refrigerant is blown from the plurality of auxiliary cooling fins 41 along the scribe line to the rear of the laser spot LS1 to form a complex solid auxiliary β point ACP. In the step of stepping, the refrigerant is blown from the main cooling nozzle 37 along the predetermined line of the scribe line behind the plurality of auxiliary cooling points Acp to form the main cooling point MCP. 7

When the β mother glass substrate 50 is heated by the laser spot LS1, compressive stress is generated on the surface thereof, and then cooled by a plurality of auxiliary cooling points ACp_, and further cooled by the main cooling point MCP. In this way, the second line is drawn along the scribe line: a blind crack line that is deep in the vertical direction. Further, in the conventional scribing method shown in Fig. 8, since the surface of the mother glass substrate 5 is heated by the laser spot LS, the refrigerant is blown to cool the surface of the mother glass substrate 50, so that it is considered to form a blind crack. Excessive impulses are generated ^ - a ..., W Υ唧 point ACp is set from the main point MCP along the laser point LSI side, so that the above-mentioned multi-end ># y, 4 7 lean, the thermal shock meal 'make a thermal shock The energy of disappearance is consumed by the force that causes the blind crack to elongate. The auxiliary cooling point ACP is set to a plurality of times, and the cooling of the mother glass in sequence can make the generation of excess thermal shock zero. The ratio of the auxiliary cooling point is only 1 1277612. Blind cracks (vertical cracks). The refrigerant which forms the primary cooling point and the auxiliary cooling point on the glass substrate is the same as the case where the above-described one auxiliary cooling point is formed on the mother glass substrate, and therefore will not be described in detail. Further, the configuration of the scribing device is preferably a configuration including, for example, a mechanism for moving the main cooling nozzle 37 and the plurality of auxiliary cooling nozzles 41 in the X direction and the Y direction, and is freely slidable on a predetermined line Adjusting the interval between the laser spot LSI and the auxiliary cooling point Acp which is located most at the laser spot side, the interval between the auxiliary cooling point Acp at the main cooling point MCP side and the main cooling point _, and the plurality of auxiliary cooling points ACP are spaced apart from each other Furthermore, the position of the auxiliary cooling point ACP and the main cooling point can be set to a position away from the predetermined line of the scribe line. The invention is achieved by placing at least one auxiliary cooling point between the laser spot on the mother glass base phase and the primary cooling point.
